BB Couture ~ Sea of Cortez

BB Couture ~ Sea of Cortez

Seablue jelly base with glitter

I’ve been wanting to try BB Couture for a while, and now I’ve finally got my hands on two of them. Sea of Cortez is the first one I try on.

"Sea of Cortez" is from BB Couture's Spring 2009 Collection.

The formula is a bit on the thin side – and it’s pretty sheer too. It took three coats to make it look reasonable, and a fourth would probably have made it perfect, but hey, I’m not that patient, really! The drying time is average, so I found it very boring to sit through three layers of polish. Talk about watching paint dry! :D

Anyway, it’s a pretty polish – I love this shade of blue, and I am obviously in love with the glitter! Here’s what two coats, and no top coat look like:

I think Sea of Cortez is a great name – this colour and finish remind me so much of water and the deep, blue sea:

I wasn’t seriously impressed with this polish on its own though, so I decided to add some more glitter! I applied a layer of Alix Avien #110. It’s a fantastic glitter that can make pretty much any mani way prettier! It’s a mix of various sizes of holographic glitter.

Here’s what the mani ended up looking like:

The sun had gone down so the holo glitter got a little bit shy but I love it anyway:
